 WishCast Wizard Gift Registry  License: Freeware

 
  This JavaScript provides anyone, particularly small-to mid-size retailers and their Web developers, with an easy way to add universal wish list or gift registry functionality to any Web site or online store, literally placing an "add to wish list" button next to any buy button or product listing. Adding this functionality -- literally by cutting and pasting a few lines of code -- places an "add to wish list" button next to any buy button or product listing. Once this button has been selected, the script opens an HTML-based interface to the Stepcast universal network, passing item attributes and contact details to a centralized server. The end result is that the customer has a universal wish list that works across multiple retail sites, and the retailer has a service that can drive additional sales, attract new users, reduce product returns, and improve customer service. Wish lists are currently being used by many of the top retailers just for these reasons [take a look at the prominence that Amazon.com gives to their wish list]. Learn more about this service, including script customization options, by visiting www.stepcast.com/wishcast.

 ShutDown  License: Freeware

 
  We have developed ShutDown software because we had had enough of wasting our time. Every time we wanted to switch the computer off, we had to make loads of mouse movements and clicks. Look - you need to move the mouse cursor to the lower left corner and click 'Start' button. You look for the 'Turn Off Computer` string and then click it. But that's not all! After that Windows XP (and other Windows versions) suggests you to click 'Turn Off'. Only then you're happy and the computer is off. We will not list other problems - believe, that in order to reboot the computer, enable screensaver or sleeping mode, you need to make many actions. ShutDown lets you automate these actions. All you need is ONE mouse click and everything you want will be done. ShutDown saves not only your time, but your nerves also. Many ShutDown users complain they cannot raise their earnings in one click. Unfortunately, we do not know how to help them. Some technical information now: ShutDown does not eat memory of your computer. Every time it releases memory it doesn't need, so you will not come across the problem, when your computer doesn't breathe because of lack of memory. ShutDown does not use registry. It does not slow your computer and operating system down, saving huge amount of registry keys and other useless information in the registry. You can easily uninstall ShutDown, just deleting the folder where ShutDown is installed. And the last one - ShutDown is freeware, you don't have to pay for it. Enjoy!

 IE Timeout Tuner  License: Freeware

 
  This tool can adjust 3 "hidden" registry settings of Internet Explorer to control caching of DNS records, server connection timeout, and caching of server information. It can be useful to change these settings to very low values, especially when testing web-servers with quickly changing DNS records / IP addresses. For example in DNS Round Robin or Simple Failover setups. Internet Explorer does not honor and does not use the TTL (time to live) value provided in DNS records. Instead it caches all DNS records for a fixed period of time (as per this setting) - with one exception: After Internet Explorer has fetched a web-page, it does not immediately close the TCP connection to the web-server. By keeping the connection open, following requests to the same web-server can be executed faster. This is known as "keep alive". This setting affects both DNS caching and server connections ("keep alive") timeouts. Internet Explorer does not refresh DNS records if another page is requested from the same server domain name within this time interval - even if the DNS Cache Timeout setting has a lower value. In other words, DNS records timeout according to the higher value of this and the DNS Cache Timeout setting. However, server connections appear to timeout according to the lower value of this and the Keep Alive Timeout setting. So for the most predictable results, the value of this setting should be set lower than or equal to the DNS Cache Timeout setting, and higher than or equal to the Keep Alive Timeout setting.
